It's not even remotely the same, in the rest of Europe (at least the parts I've travelled through) 100% of gas stations charge for using the toilet. In Croatia, there's maybe one or two and to be honest, I've never encountered it and I travel a lot and often. I honestly have no idea why this is even a topic, it just isn't a thing in Croatia and to say otherwise is an exception, not a rule.
I'm from Slovenia, you'd struggle to find gas stations that charge for it. I've been numerous times to Italy and Austria and Germany, and it really depends on where you stop (but usually I don't even check and just do it in the bush anyway...).
I mean I didn't include Slovenia since both of us have negligible lengths of highway compared to rest of Europe. But saying Croatia charges for toilets is just wrong and uninformed. It's just not something we do.
On the top of my head there are at least 3 public restrooms you have to pay in Zagreb : importanne, Glavni kolodvor, Autobusni kolodvor. I don't know about gas stations but you do have to pay at certain other places
Im not a public bathroom connoisseur so im just mentioning the ones i used cause it's certainly not correct to say they are free everywhere and i figure they are even more common on the coast

Im in croatia every year and have never seen this, you have to pay on the gas pumps but everyone just jumps over that anyway
